What is the next step after I confirmed my order?


After we receive your floor plan, we shall carry out the plan as follow:

  1. Designed the camera locations.
  2. Send it to you to have a look to see if all the camera positions are ok.
  3. Show it to our engineer & get all the equipment onsite.
  4. When all the equipment onsite, we will send our engineer down to have a look around based on the floor plan & straightaway start the installation.
Can we book for visit on-site to understand the construction of the nursery?


Normally, we could advise accordingly to the floor plan.However, our engineer would advise you on the spot if there is any problem & get the confirmation from you. Therefore, we don't provide any site survey for our customers because our engineer would be able to start the installation on the spot. I hope this will help you to minimize our nursery's cost as each site survey is chargeable. The engineer has to be paid for each callout.
Can we source our own DVR since the cost is high, is your software compatible with other DVR?


Our DVR is also slightly different and more powerful than other DVRs. Our DVR is not for domestic use, it is a very high end DVR that actually being used at airport and casino. Allow me to illustrate our DVR a little further:

  1. a large 3000GB hard disk that able to record up to 24 months recordings.
  2. a Firewall Tunnelling viewing mode that allows all parents to login from anywhere even behind the most toughness corporate firewall or using any machine including Apple Mackintosh, iPhone, Blackberry & other Smartphone.
  3. Using H.264 format that provide a faster viewing speed for parents.
  4. It can be last for 10 years conservatively.
Is your system compatible with our own cameras?


In order to use our parental webcam, we have to use our Digital Video Recorder. For the cameras that you have installed, our system is compatible and we are happy to work with these.
Could we install the software in both Mac and i-phone?


Yes, you can install both on your Mac & iPhone.
For the CCTV software installation on your Mac, we will remote connect to your Mac & help you to install the software. It takes around 15 minutes. For the iPhone application installation, it takes around 5 minutes to install.
Could we have the viewing access when I'm travelling abroad?


Yes, when you abroad, you can view as long as there is a wifi connection.
Is the DVR can record up to 30 days?


For the recording, it is not a problem. Our DVR comes with a large 3000GB hard disk where most of our nurseries have the recording up to 18 months with a normal frame rate (1 frame per second). However, if you would like to have a higher frame rate then the recording can be at least 3-6 months.
For security purpose, Do I have the full control or authority to manage the parents access?


For the security issue, yes, you or the nursery will have a full control over the parents' access. We have a nursery control panel where you can login to control all the parents' camera & time access. For eg, parent A only can view camera 1 & 2 from Monday-Thursday 9-11am, while parent B only can view camera 2 & 6 from Thursday-Friday 11am-3pm. All the parents would need to apply a parental webcam viewing account & you or the nursery will login to the nursery control panel to approve / decline their account. And, there is a logbook in the nursery control panel. The logbook would shows all the parent name, login date & time, country, Internet Service Provider (ISP), IP address and reason of failed to login.
Could we only be given through IP address to one of the parents' home device?


Regarding your concern about access shall only be given through IP address to one of the parents' home device, as mentioned above, we will log down the IP address for each parent login where it showed in the logbook. Therefore, technically we can do that, but we have not implemented this control. This practically do not enforce because most of the people is having dynamic IP address in UK or Europe and in most of the other countries. We can implement this, but we will need to look at the potential volume for the implementation as there is a cost of development.
Is there a security system to stop any recording being done at the parents end i.e. from within the device?


We did not provide any recording tools in our parent login, we do have the term and condition in written which prohibited the recording action. To be honest, this is quite hard for us to prevent parent from recording through any other devices. For example, the parent is login to the system through their own PC or desktop, and they recorded the video through their own mobile phone, tablet or any other devices. Unfortunately, this is too difficult to control such behavior to take place.
Do I need to wait for the new DVR before I can log into remotely?


We will now configure the 16-ch DVR and get it posted to you shortly. Kindly follow these steps after you received the 16-ch DVR:

  1. Unplug all the cables from 8-ch DVR to 16-ch DVR.
  2. Put the 8-ch DVR into the box, then post it back to us. The postal address is:
    46 Abbotswood
    Guildford
    GU1 1UY
    United Kingdom.
For the remote support session, no, we do not have to wait for the 16-ch DVR. We shall give you a call on Friday for the remote session. Our account team will issue the invoice to you shortly.
Can I install cctv first and perhaps install parental webcam after that?


Our DVR is parental webcam ready. Therefore, it is fine to just install the CCTV cameras with our DVR first and activate the Parental Webcam when you are ready. The monthly charges for the parental webcam will only be charge once this service is activated.
